Grim Reaper in the Apocalypse: Reaping Immortals

Atlan had no choice but to try and beat the Dragon Queen Malificient under her own game. If she could triple the amount of her dragon clones the moment one of them dies, then he would keep multiplying all of his clones by two each time.

By now, his number of clones kept growing at an exponential rate. At this point, the skies would be completely covered with his clones and his puppets. At that point, even if the Dragon Queen summoned more and more of her clones, she would not be able to keep up with his numbers.

'Atlan…we can't keep going on like this,'

Tulip walked towards Atlan. 'We need…we need to finish this once and for all.'

Atlan was trying to do that, but he didn't know what to do.

'I'll keep her occupied till I find the right idea. After all, that's what your mothers said, right? I will not have the right idea when I think of it.'

But Tulip remained unconvinced. Even though she was still a lowly Canzer who didn't have the strength or power to take control of the situation, she knew that she had to do something. It was as if something deep inside her was trying to say that she needed to be the one to spur everything on.

'You have to let me meet her,' Tulip said.

Atlan looked back at her like she was crazy. 'The Queen? Are you kidding me?! May I remind you that she is trying to kill you. Bringing you to her, I will be bringing what she wants the most on a silver platter.'

Right now, they were surrounded by hundreds of thousands of clones. No matter how much the Dragon Queen Malificient tried to go through the clones, she would never be able to penetrate the clones.

But if Atlan and Tulip voluntarily got out of this protective bubble, the Queen would immediately take that chance and take both of them out at the same time.

However, it seemed that he was the only one who was thinking about the consequences. Tulip was still adamant in her request.

'What's the reason why she wants to kill me in the first place?' Tulip asked.

'Your mothers didn't tell you?"

'No…they said that you would tell me.'

Atlan cursed the three good fairies. They didn't have to put that burden on him. They already burdened him by having him fight the Dragon Queen Malificient all on his own, but now, he also had to tell the truth to Tulip.

If he complained about it to them, Atlan was sure that their excuse would be that they didn't want to interfere with the prophecy.

'The reason the Queen wants you dead is because you are her weakness. There's a prophecy that says that you will be the one to succeed her throne,' Atlan explained.

'What? I don't want to do that…' Tulip said, desperate in her plea.

'It doesn't matter. That's what she thinks, and that's what the prophecy says. Even when I say that I'm not the chosen one, that is what it is said in whatever prophecy your mothers are following.'

Tulip thought for a second, and a dangerous thought flowed through her mind.

'What if I explain to her that I mean her no harm? I don't want to succeed her; I just want to return to my normal life. She can keep running the kingdom, and I won't ever appear in front of her face.'

Atlan listened to Tulip's words and couldn't believe how naivete.

'That won't work. Before you even get close enough to talk to her, she will blast you out of the sky the moment she sees you. She has already wasted enough time, she won't hesitate to kill you when she sees a chance.

And even if you can talk to her, do you think that she will believe you? I don't know why, but beings like the Queen and your mothers believe in this prophecy thing like it was set in stone.''

Atlan tried to reason with Tulip, but he could see the determination in her eyes. It was as if she had finally found the answer to her question.

She had always wondered why she was in this situation at all. She only wanted a normal life in the forest with her mothers, but now, she finally understood why she had to be the one to do it.

She needed to reason with the Queen. That was the only way they could get out of this.

Somehow, Tulip was sure of this.

'Atlan, please escort me near enough for me to talk to the Queen,' begged Tulip.

But Atlan immediately shook his head. 'No. That's too dangerous.' Experience new tales on My Virtual Library Empire

Tulip took a big breath and said, 'Fine. I'll do it by myself.'

Tulip then began walking towards the large collection of dragon clones all by herself.

Atlan couldn't believe how stubborn Tulip had become.

He looked at the three good fairies, begging them for help. But instead of helping him convince Tulip out of her decision, the three good fairies nodded their heads towards him.

'What?' he asked them.

'She has made her decision,' said the blue fairy.

'We told you that if you have an idea, and it feels right, then it is what is meant to happen,' said the green fairy.

'Tulip will meet with the Queen. That is in the prophecy. The reason why we didn't say anything was because we couldn't be the one to put the idea in her head. She had to be the one to decide for herself.'

Atlan shook his head. He couldn't believe that even in this situation, the three good fairies were still thinking about the prophecy and its rules. Why couldn't they just tell them the truth so that things would become so much easier?

Well, she's already decided. So, I guess I have no choice, Atlan thought to himself. And maybe, it was a good thing as well.

After all, Tulip was the weakness of the Queen. Maybe, Tulip would show him the way to kill the Queen.
